Chapter 6 (Alpha Roger’s impending visit)

“What do you mean I didn't tell you? I tried telling you but you were just yapping nonsense.” Alpha Ian cut in.

“The letter was sent days ago, how come we are hearing about it now?” she asked, gathering her wits.

“I don’t know and that isn’t the point. We all know it takes days for mail to be passed across, we should be thankful it came before he arrived. At least we have little chance to put the house in order before he arrives,” Alpha Ian pointed out, Mistress Ava chewed on her lips. She often does that when she is thinking so hard.

“You know what? I think this is a set up. He did this on purpose,” she said getting up from the slave’s back, the relief the slave felt was tremendous.

“Look at it this way brother, don’t act irrationally. He could have easily sent a call to us, he has the records of every pack including the phone numbers, I’m sure that is where he got our address from but why send a letter when you could easily place a call and within minutes you will relay all the information across to us unless he wants us not to get the information.” The Mistress continued, that she is very smart and her smartness is one of the many things that makes her dominant.

The alpha clearly didn't think about this, he began to consider the possibility of what she just said.

“I didn't even think of it like that? What do you think we should do?” he asked her as the coward he is.

“What should we do?” she thought audibly.

“The only sensible thing we can do is to prove him wrong. He suspects something is going on here that he doesn't know for sure. We should endeavor to behave just like a normal pack should, the slave business will have to be put on hold for a while, at least until he leaves.” she said, her intelligence baffles me sometimes.

“But—,” he began but she held up her hand to tell him not to speak.

“There is no but, brother, we are putting it on hold, the slaves won’t be slaves, for the time being, they will be given uniforms and will serve as maids or guards. I just hope one of them tries to outsmart us and get away, it will be a very nice reason to chop off his or her head,” she continued with a look on her face that told us she was actually thinking of how it’ll feel to chop off one of our heads.

“It is just too much! How are we supposed to do all these before he gets here in five hours? It’s literally impossible!” The Alpha interjected, thinking practically.

His sister smiled, “you always fail to remember what I can do, take your horse and few guards, go to the border of the pack, and pretend to be on patrol. That way when he is within our border you will be the first to know and you will stall him, don't bring him here until I say so. Take him around the pack if possible and show him things to take his mind off the pack house, I'll try to be as fast as I can, now go,” she instructed.

Nodding his head, he obeyed and retreated. When he was halfway he halted and turned to face her. “Let all of them serve him when he is here, he can pick one he likes and it can be used as a medium to cement our relationship. All except her, Ame is not allowed to serve him, I have unfinished business with her,” he said, there were visible lines across his forehead. Ones that spoke of concealed emotion. With that, he left without turning back.

“You all heard what we discussed so don’t play dumb, hope you are good at acting else this will be difficult for you, you are to act your best before the Alpha visits. If you dare to give him a sign of what you are, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill you, whenever the thought crosses your mind just remember tag 0012 and how I dealt with her, I’m sure it will change your mind,” she said, fear gripped me. Tag 0012 was a girl named Frankie, she was one of the few people that her situation as a slave didn’t kill her spirit, she was often cheerful, and she offered her meal to some girls who didn’t get much to eat because they were unattractive and was used less, she consoled everyone including me that someday we will be free and I actually believed her but as they say, the good ones never last. One day she was selected by the mistress to work upstairs as one of the maids was pregnant and had to go see the pack doctor. She was to fill in for the maid till she is back fully, we all thought it was a golden opportunity. I myself would have been content with it and not try anything funny because for the mistress to choose you for a position like that means she trusted you to a point at least but she wasn't me and I wasn't her; she tried to escape and was caught by another slave, I was told that the slave that caught her tag 0076 felt jealous, how can 0012 escape while she'll be left to suffer, she alerted the mistress and 0012 was captured, she was later killed in a very gruesome way, the mistress stick a snake scope camera down her throat, then plug up her nose so that she could not breathe. She killed her in front of all of us, we all had contact with her so we felt it, she did it so that we will fear her the most and it worked for everyone of us. The funniest part of it all is that tag 0076 was also killed that very same day but for a different reason, she was killed right after 0012 was killed and her offense was a betrayal. The mistress believed that if she could betray her fellow slave there was every tendency that she will betray the Alpha and her too. That day was very memorable, a day of bloodshed.

None of us will try any thing stupid, I am sure of that.

“The females are to assemble in the dressing room, pass the message to all of them, and Amelia, you are not exempted from this one. The males are to gather here, and also pass the message to them. I won't tolerate any lateness or tardiness. Now go, get out of my sight, I'll talk with the other staff, I'll be back soon.”

No one needed to be told twice, they all scrambled on their feet, one of the males took pity on me and helped me get rid of the rope, and together we left to our respective sites.

“Roger!! Whatever you planned for us, will be aborted. You might be the strongest but I'm the most cunning,” The mistress swore loudly.

As soon as I left the room I made my way to the dressing room, we don't always come here unless on special occasions. As a matter of fact, the last time I was here was because I was supposed to put up a show for the alpha. The maids who work here dressed me up to please him, they bathed me themselves which was a very rare treat, and they used scented soap when bathing me. They treated me how you'll treat your favorite plaything, when they were done I was taken to a dressing table where I was made up to look like a doll; bright red lipstick, blue eyeshadows, and the others that I do not know their names. To think that was bad, I was forced to put on a micro striped bra and panty lingerie and was taken to Alpha Ian. I'm sure you can guess what happened afterward so I'm not gonna say it.

This time when I got in there was no one in sight which I was grateful for, I went to a silent corner of the room and sat on the ground. The things the Queen did to me and my body came rushing to my memory, a tear fell off my eyes. When was this going to end, this misery, this suffering when will it end? I asked myself continually.

“Won't it be better if I just find a way to kill myself? After all, I'm going to die anyway so won't it be better to just kill myself and die at once? I questioned myself. But I knew deep down that the last thing I will do is to kill myself or let anyone kill me willingly.

There is no hope of coming out of here alive but I don't know why I kept hanging on to a thread of hope.

“What do you think you are doing there?” a loud voice yelled, the voice sent shivers down my spine and fear gripped me hard.
